Michaelson's points all on the mark. I'm guessing you've sold the jacket to somebody suffering from the "if it doesn't weigh a ton, it cannot be a tough, high quality jacket" syndrome. Roo is the toughest leather I've ever owned. The only reason I shy away from it is the way US Wings has the pigment applied - but that's just personal anal retentive preference on my part. Make no bones about the fact that a roo skin US Wings jacket is worth every cent of what they charge ($475?), and picking one up for less than retail on eBay is a coup!
Hope this helps - have they buyer email me, and I'd be happy to discuss the particulars of the jacket, as I've owned one and purchased a second for my Dad.
Cheers!
